  • Mediatorji eozinofilnega granulocita in astma = The mediators of the eosinophil granulocyte and asthma
    Turel, Matjaž ; Šuškovič, Stanislav
    Bacground. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways in which many cells play a role, including eosinophils. In the systemic steroid dependent asthamics is the main goal to reduce ... steroid side effects with othereffectively anti-inflemmatory drug. Cyclosporine A is an immunosupresive drug with potentially beneficial effect on inflammated airways. The main goal of this study was to find out if low doses cyclosporin A in a one week treatment has an influence on serum eosinophils cation protein concentration and number of eosinophils in blood. Patients and methods. We treated one week 12 systemic steroid dependent asthmatics (group A) with cyclosporine A (2mgžkgžday), 8 asthmatics (the first control group) withouth regulary use of the systemic corticosteroids with 40 mg methylprednisolone daily (group B). 8 healthy atopics withouth asthma history (group C) was the second control group. In the groups A and B we have collected blood samples every four hours the day before and the last day of the treatment. We performed measurements inthe group C only one day. In the group A we registered at the same times blood concentration of the cyclosporine A. Results. In the group A did not significantly change the serum eosinophilic cation protein concentration and number of eosinophils. There were find no corelations between blood concentration of the cyclosporine A and serum eosinophilic cation protein concentration or number of eosinophils. In the group B we found statistically significant(p<0,05) differences in the serum eosinophilic cation protein (at $pm, 8 PM and 4 AM) and number of eosinophils (all samples) before and after the treatment with methylprendisolone. Conclusions. We conclude that short treatment with the low doses of the cyclosporine A did not have an important influence on the serum eosinophilic cation protein concentrations and number of eosinophils in blood.
